Abstract

The recent widespread of RGBD cameras such as Kinect® device from Microsoft® opens many new interaction metaphors available to the general public. In this poster we introduce a tabletop interaction metaphor using the depth map from the Kinect: each element on the table is included as a set of physical constraints in a virtual environment. We briefly discuss visualization methods and present a gaming genre adapted to this framework: action-construction games.
